I have tried thousands of times to leave this habit but failed and still I am unable to come out of this habit. From 12 years I felt very bad and whenever I do this I regret but again go back to do this again. I feel nervous, energy loss, exhausted, somewhat body pains whenever I do this.

-“From what you’re experiencing, long-term pornography and masturbation can make you feel tired, low in energy, anxious, or unmotivated. It can sometimes cause sexual problems, but it does not permanently affect your height, weight, or overall physical growth. Most of the fatigue and body discomfort you feel are reversible. -To recover, focus on healthy habits: Exercise regularly and eat well. -Get 7–9 hours of sleep and stay hydrated. Reduce triggers for pornography and replace them with hobbies, social activities, or exercise. -Mindfulness or therapy can help manage urges and guilt. -Recovery is gradual. With consistent effort, you can restore your energy, mental clarity, and sexual health. Relapses can happen, but they are part of the process, not failure.” -Internal Medicines - 1)Ashwagandha Cap – 500 mg with warm milk at night (restores strength, reduces stress) 2)Shatavari Churna – 3 g with warm milk at night (rejuvenates Ojas, supports sexual health) 3)Brahmi vati – 1 tab with warm water or milk in the morning (improves memory, calms mind) 4)Chyawanprash – 1 tsp in the morning (builds immunity and overall energy) Lifestyle Advice -Avoid pornography, late-night screens, and excessive stimulation. Maintain regular sleep (7–8 hours) and daily routine. Gentle exercise or yoga daily; meditation for 10–15 min. Eat fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains; avoid oily, spicy, and processed foods. Daily oil massage (Abhyanga) with warm Bala or Ashwagandha oil if possible. -Follow-up: Every 2–4 weeks to monitor energy, sleep, and mental well-being.

If addiction happens Stress Guilt feeling Low confidence Tiredness Poor concentration How to reduce habit Avoid porn and triggers Stay busy Exercise daily Sleep early Spend time with friends/family When urge comes Go for walk Wash face or take bath Do exercise Distract mind for 10–15 min For energy Healthy food Milk and soaked almonds Good sleep Exercise
